This should pressure Kasich to drop out.

Go Cruz!

Of course Trump would have welcomed Bush's endorsement of his campaign and worked it to help break out from under the 35-40% ceiling he's hit.

We're watching the continued coalescing of Republicans around Cruz.

Before long, Donald will again tell the MSM that the GOP is being mean to him.

Jeb Bush endorses Cruz as a 'consistent, principled conservative'

Like Jeb! would know.

[walkingdead]

So Jeb Bush is for the further errosion of our constitution by endorsing a man for president who is not a natural born citizen. Duly noted.....

[JEDI4S]

This is NOT good for Ted. It may hurt his chances for the V.P. slot.

Without Cruz on the ticket with Trump...there is no viable coalition to beat the demonrats.

There simply won't be enough of the “blue collar demonrats” to make up that loss of the base + the rinos to put Donald over the top.

And the welfarian/illegal/ and other handoutistas’ are NEVER going to crossover to the Republican.

That 47% we had in 2012...is closer to 52-55% today...totaling all handouts to everybody.

This is a very bad thing....a very bad thing.

I am very sorry you have mental illness. I hope you can secure effective treatment immediately.

Jeb’s endorsement of Cruz is just another sign of Cruz being a GOPe operative.

[usafa92]

Paid troll CW on duty on the am shift. You Cruzers are beyond pathetic. Cruz has won a grand total of 2 primaries. The rest of his “wins” have been caucuses most of which he’s won through outright cheating.

[mkjessup]

Time for some wise words from our Esteemed Founder:

"Don’t look now, but Trump is the only anti-establishment candidate left running. The GOPe is now backing Cruz to the hilt and he’s doing their bidding. Fiorino has come out for the GOPe big time, and is throwing all her schoolmarm charm Cruz’s way. Rubio’s a fricking amnesty traitor and Kasich is all in big government GOPe.

Thankfully, Carson has seen the light and so has Sessions and they’re backing Trump.

Cruz has let his ambition get the better of him and has lost it. He’s been thoroughly indoctrinated, corrupted and absorbed by those we’re fighting against. He’s now fighting with the GOP and the establishment political class against We The People.

And unfortunately, some of our very own have been unwittingly sucked into the GOPe vortex."

There you go folks, an accurate observation from JimRob a bit more than a week ago, and if any of you happened to squirm a bit at that "unfortunately, some of our very own have been unwittingly sucked into the GOPe vortex", give your head a shake and ask yourself just WTH you're doing.

And Jim? I think we would all appreciate your take on this Jeb Bush endorsement of Ted Cruz snd what can only be described as the Bushification of the Cruz campaign.

[crz]

Glad to see you guys are backing another typical establishment candidate.

Doesnt take much to pull the wool over your eyes does it?

Jeb Bush endorses Cruz as a 'consistent, principled conservative'

Just precisely what would pro-amnesty senor el Jebbo know about being a conservative?

[TXSearcher]

We're watching the continued coalescing of Republicans around Cruz.

Hmmmm, I'm not sure about that. I think it's more of the "stop Trump" from getting 1237, and Bush knew Kasich couldn't get the job done. Otherwise, Bush would have endorsed Cruz a while ago.

We're watching the continued coalescing of Republicans around Cruz.

cruise just got the boosch kiss of death. Tippy toes style.

[silverleaf]

Kasich won’t quit because if he did he has to give up his Ohio delegates
They will only be pried from his cold stiff fingers

[stockpirate]

Bush endorsing Cruz shows me that Bush the socialist RINO has given Cruz the kiss of death.

Let’s not forget when Bush got out he was polling at 6%...lol

The ruling republican elites and their followers here will be lead like sheep.

[Trumpinator]

Shows the back stab of Bush’s protege Rubio.

[tirednvirginia]

If I were you, CW, I would be totally embarrassed to post this article. Do you not have any pride in your candidate to accept an endorsement only to stop another candidate’s nomination? Jeb is not interested in your candidate to be president and is only using him at this point. Any candidate who allows himself to be manipulated in such a way is a total loser.

Jeb Bush endorses Cruz as a ‘consistent, principled conservative’

There is that word,Conservative” again. It has been so abused it is meaningless. We have seen what,”Conservatives” do and it isn’t anywhere near what Conservatism used to mean. In today’s world it is simply something for a useless politician to hide behind.

[DouglasKC]

We're watching the continued coalescing of Republicans around Cruz.<\i>

The GOP establishment are not coalescing around Ted Cruz. They are taking over his campaign. He sold out for 30 pieces of silver. Sold his soul. Sold out conservatism. Sold out the country.

[dinodino]

Well, an endorsement from Jeb! is all I need to know about whether or not I should vote for Cruz: HELL NO, I won’t vote for Cruz!

Ted Cruz is morphing into an Establishment Republican tool right before our eyes. NO THANKS.

[VerySadAmerican]

Bush, a part of the establishment who hates Cruz and says he’s in it only for himself, calls him “principled”. That’s just sickening. How in the hell can Cruzbots keep supporting this guy. Are they the ones who vote republican every year because they’re blind as bats and gullible as hell?

“We won’t screw you this time. We promise.”

“Okay. We believe you.”

[ek_hornbeck]

Cruz needs something close to 90% of remaining delegates to win the nomination outright. You know as well as I do that isn't going to happen, especially not with states like Pennsylvania and New York coming up. Therefore, all Cruz can really accomplish is giving the RNC the brokered convention that it wants. And only an idiot thinks Cruz will be nominated in a brokered convention.

So what you're really doing is cheering the likely nomination of Bush, Romney, Ryan, etc.

[jacknhoo]

So Ted’s a Bush conservative?
